Is anyone about on Tuesday for Danbury?

I dont know a load of routes though saw some good runs on the gallery area.

I'll be out on my hardtail :D

Hopefully my new crank will be here by then too 8-)

What time are you thinking of heading over? I could get there early doors (as in I have to leave for home before 9am) or late - pesky old work gets in the way in the middle!

Well been there for the late morning- wow that place has grown!

Found some damn sweet run- so many lines to choose I haven't had chance to find them all.

Just had some lunch and water and going back down there. It's very good!

Got a quiet and friendly word by a local that I need park in Bicnacre Rd next time ( :-D lol). I'll be there from about 4pm.

And if anyone on here done any of the digging- well done guys- no need to reply ;-)

Hahahaha!!!! I proper lol'd!

Well I left the second sesh at 5pm- was way tired, and my superstitious phrase popped in my head- "just one last run"- always ends in misery.

I can describe now the runs I did.

One started by a nice house and go left through the trees, a couple of bomb holes, then across a bridle track, back on a trail into some nice berms (last time I rode real berms like that were at Les Gets) and ending after a little kicker.

The one I sessioned and loved, I started from the bridal track and rode down a small whoops and then into a load of jumps in the trail, ending on a very nice table top and onwards. The now loose tree stump by the first table top was due to me carrying too much speed past the tree and running wide. Very sorry. No injury though, but a sure sign of how I was progressing.

It's sweet their only 30mins away. I can't compare it to chicky as it's completely differant. I feel like you have to use your brain and bike control a lot more instead of just rolling down and going flat out.

Danbury now has a place in heart and I am certain you'll see me down there as a regular now!

It sure was riding nice today! Did you see anyone else there? I had the place to myself just before 9am. Not even any dog walkers!

Saw one other biker over at Lingwood Common on a red rockhopper. That wasn't anyone from here was it?
